Reactive oxygen species (ROS, partial reduction or derivatives of free radicals) are highly
reactive, dangerous and can cause oxidative cell death. In addition to their role as toxic by …

Climate change-induced abiotic stress results in crop yield and production losses. These
stresses result in changes at the physiological and molecular level that affect the …

Heavy metals is a collective term describing metals and metalloids with a density higher
than 5 g/cm3. Some of them are essential micronutrients; others do not play a positive role in …

Plants are subjected to various environmental stresses throughout their life cycle. Reactive
oxygen species (ROS) play important roles in maintaining normal plant growth, and …

Because of the high catalytic activities and substrate specificity, natural enzymes have been
widely used in industrial, medical, and biological fields, etc. Although promising, they often …

Land plants are exposed to not only biotic stresses such as pathogen infection and
herbivore wounding, but abiotic stresses such as cold, heat, drought, and salt. Elaborate …

Huanglongbing (HLB) is a devastating disease of citrus, caused by the phloem-colonizing
bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas). Here, we present evidence that HLB is …

Abiotic stresses, such as low or high temperature, deficient or excessive water, high salinity,
heavy metals, and ultraviolet radiation, are hostile to plant growth and development, leading …

Phytoremediation is an environment-friendly approach regarded as a potential candidate for
remediating heavy metal (HM)-contaminated soils. However, the low efficacy of …

Plant growth and resilience require balancing an inherently oxidative metabolism with
powerful antioxidant systems that help maintain homeostasis. When the environment …
